It has never been crowded when we were there in spring or fall. Big campground, clean and tidy, in an open area with few trees. Shower building was OK."

TravelerWinding mountain trail. Campsites well used. Not secluded, likely will have people drive/ ride bikes past your site. Relatively clean. Dense forest surrounding the sites. Watch out for others poop around the site, our dog found it before we did….
LegendTons of spots for camping and big rigs up to 50 ft long with spots a couple of hundred feet from the reservoir itself and lots of shade in places with decent privacy and picnic tables and fire rings at each site, and vault toilets provided. 14 day stay limit.
TravelerPeaceful little CG in close proximity to the CDT. Sites are spaced out for privacy, but we had the campground to ourselves. Some ORV traffic, and cattle noise.
LegendIt's a very secluded Campground but there isn't much privacy between the sites and while there are toilets and a garbage dumpster there is no drinking water and there is a zero cell reception
TravelerWe had been driving for 6 hours when I searched out a campsite near Helena, Montana. Found this campground and took our chances on something being available. We have a 23ft trailer and Drove 6 miles down the best dirt road ever and arrived. Camp host was very helpful and there were many sites available. We chose site #028 right on the water for two nights. You have to make your reservation through recreation.gov It’s only $5.00 a night with America the beautiful pass. The night was very quiet and the sites were clean. There were people fishing and paddle boarding. I highly recommend this campground.
GuideBeen in Butte, MT for a few weeks, someone told me about this spot. Very nice, flat spots, lots of fire rings, lots of spots. I'll definitely be back. Please leave the spot as clean or cleaner, to preserve this place. No AT&T service.
Legend$10 a night with senior pass but it doesn't say the price without it so I think it's $10 for everyone. Well maintained quite level gravel sites with picnic tables and fire pits and several clean vault toilets. This is for self-contained campers as there is no garbage or water or firewood available.
ScoutNice looking campground. Helpful staff. Very clean. Good showers. All of this said, I am writing this in the middle of the night because I am awake due to another train.
RangerPlenty of cell signal as it is right next to the town. You can walk into town if you like. 2 clean pit toilets, 11 spots. Heavy day use for the boat launch but most sites are away from that area. No wood to scrounge, although burn ban during my visit. On the madison river so great for fishing. Also Ennis lake is only 6 miles.
Although a small town there are a couple gas stations and a decent sized grocery. Busy on the weekends and you can hear card on the highway but there are few at night.
Sites are mowed down and open. 7 thru 11 can hold several vehicles and tents. For groups get 10&11 together or 7&8.
Plenty of sun for solar, large shade trees at some sites, easy starlink connect.
